Subject: Instead of prosperity, socialism has brought economic paralysis and/or collapse to every country that tried it.

That could be said of the many attempts at a pure capitalist society. That is why Britain adopted some form of socialism when it came to the welfare of it's people.

It was found that even with Conservative Christian policies on giving to those in need (about a 10% donation) ... was not enough. It was the Quaker Bankers who contributed much and founded good society, and in some instances their rejection of capitalism still 100 years on has an impact and contribution to those seeking to better themselves.

If Bankers today went by the Quaker Banker code there would be honesty and none or little fraud, the Likes of Madoff would be unheard of.

btw.. it could be said going by recent events, that a pure capitalist society is just a destructive as a pure socialist state.

But seeing as both sides of the coin have been interfering with each other. Has there been any pure socialist/capitalist society in the last 100 years?
